This is the tenth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
Joan Huang is a Chinese American girl who dreams of becoming her school's prom
queen. When she looks at the photos of the previous winners, she realises
that only blonde girls become prom queen. She dyes her hair, but her face
still looks too Chinese. She discovers a company that can change anyone's
ethnic appearance, altering the skin colour and the facial features. She
becomes a white girl. (A different actress plays Joan after her
transformation). Even Joan's parents no longer recognise her.
There are a few comedic elements, but it's mostly a film full of political
ironies. The company promises to eliminate racism by making everyone white.
That's one way of doing it.
